September 12, 2026

Version: Play Block 11.2.55 and Waveme Child Theme 1.0.63

Summary: Fixed track uploads failing when another song has the same title, and protected interrupted saves from creating duplicate tracks.

Songs with matching titles now save with their own unique links without causing a server error.
Retrying an interrupted save continues the same upload, including tracks in a bulk upload.
Cover images are validated before publication, and upload errors keep the form available for correction.
The upload Save button and song-edit menu stay accessible above the music player.

June 10, 2026

Version: Waveme Child Theme 1.0.61

Summary: Updated New Release to prioritize community uploads and added continuation playback so listening can keep moving after a playlist naturally finishes.

Reworked the New Release page so newly uploaded community music appears first, ahead of Wavyl Exclusive playlists and admin-generated catalog fills.
Added community release buckets for creator tracks, creator playlists, and albums, with Wavyl Exclusive channels moved into their own clearly labeled lower section.
Excluded Wavyl Exclusive playlist tracks, Wavyl-branded playlist containers, admin-authored catalog fills, and future generated-source metadata from the community-first release shelves.
Updated the New Release social preview description to reflect the new community-first release focus.
Added a Wavyl continuation endpoint that chooses a next playlist or track queue from the same genre lane first, then related moods, activities, tags, and artists.
Connected the continuation flow to the existing player completion event so it runs only when a queue reaches its natural end.
Kept continuation separate from the core Play Block player so current playback controls, queue behavior, visualizer, and listen tracking continue using their existing paths.

June 8, 2026

Version: Play Block 11.2.54

Summary: Fixed a stale desktop player visualizer state, tightened mobile player pause behavior in narrow desktop/mobile layouts, and added desktop player hover tooltips.

Added custom hover and keyboard-focus tooltips to the rebuilt desktop player controls so icon-only actions identify themselves without changing the player layout.
Forced the rebuilt desktop player shell to refresh when the current visualizer eye control is missing or still using old markup.
Replaced the desktop visualizer SVG with a CSS-drawn eye glyph, gave the glyph explicit non-collapsing dimensions, and added a self-healing check that restores the eye button before Queue if the mounted control row loses it.
Kept the fix scoped to the visualizer control refresh check so queue, captions, volume, overflow, and playback controls continue using their existing behavior.
Fixed the rebuilt mobile mini and expanded player play/pause buttons so an active track pauses directly instead of relying on a legacy toggle state that can be stale in narrow desktop windows.
Refreshed the compact mobile bar when closing the expanded player, so the mini controls return immediately after pausing from the expanded view.

June 7, 2026

Version: Play Block 11.2.47

Summary: Refined Wavyl visualizer launch behavior and changed the visualizer action to an eye glyph across desktop and mobile players.

Fixed the desktop visualizer action so the first click opens the active visualizer canvas instead of requiring repeated clicks while the visualizer API finishes loading.
Changed the rebuilt desktop and mobile visualizer controls from equalizer-style bars to an eye SVG glyph that better represents visual mode.
Fixed the mobile expanded-player visualizer tap target by preventing an invisible homepage visualizer overlay from intercepting taps while the mobile player or visualizer is open.
Added a visualizer eye button to the compact player shown at the 1024px desktop/tablet breakpoint, covering desktop windows that use the compact player because of width or browser zoom.
Added file-based cache keys for visualizer assets so browsers receive the latest visualizer JavaScript and CSS after deployment.
Verified production desktop and mobile visualizer launch paths after deployment.

June 4, 2026

Versions: Play Block 11.2.43 hotfix, Waveme Child Theme 1.0.58

Summary: Improved waveform commenting, game-page playback defaults, playlist loading feedback, and rebuilt player stability.

Changed waveform comments so clicking the waveform itself seeks through the track without opening the comment composer.
Kept timestamped comments available from the pink plus button only, preserving the intentional add-comment path.
Verified the production track-page waveform flow so normal clicks seek and the plus button still opens the focused comment box.
Added default Wavyl playlists for known game and arcade pages, including Gaming, Synthwave, Focus, Ambient Tech, and Workout queues.
Added playlist loading feedback so track and playlist transitions show a clearer busy state while the player is preparing audio.
Improved playlist row state so browsing surfaces can reflect the active and playing track more reliably.
Hardened rebuilt player state, queue handoff, media-session metadata, and legacy playlist adapter behavior around track changes and natural endings.
Added PJAX-safe layout styling for artist, playlist, and album headers so those page layouts remain stable after in-site navigation.

May 28, 2026

Version: Waveme Child Theme 1.0.56

Summary: Made creator upload access visible and available for listener-first accounts.

Added a logged-in Upload entry fallback so new accounts can find the publishing flow even when their account starts as a listener.
Allowed listener-first accounts to enter the upload flow and promoted them to creator status when they begin publishing.
Updated account role capabilities so creator, listener, and administrator checks behave consistently across upload, earnings, and navigation surfaces.
Verified the logged-in upload page, production menu upload URL, public home, Discover, and Login pages after deployment.

May 18, 2026

Versions: Play Block 11.2.42, Waveme Child Theme 1.0.41

Summary: Synced single-track page playback controls with the persistent player and restored desktop volume controls.

Connected the play button near a track’s featured image to the same playback state as the footer player, so it changes to pause while that track is playing.
Synced the track-page waveform with live playback progress from the persistent player.
Restored a compact desktop volume slider and mute toggle in the footer player, with the same control available from the overflow menu.
Made repeat clicks on the current track’s page controls toggle pause/resume instead of restarting or creating a separate playback path.
Kept the existing footer player, queue, playlist rows, and legacy playback fallbacks intact while adding the sync bridge.

May 17, 2026

Versions: Play Block 11.2.42, Waveme Child Theme 1.0.41, Wavyl Bulk Import 1.0.2

Summary: Improved Wavyl Exclusive publishing, audio analysis automation, playlist row feedback, desktop player timing, and the mobile header.

Added a working Suno-to-Wavyl operating pipeline for generating, checking, cleaning, importing, and publishing Wavyl Exclusive tracks with local artwork and clean public metadata.
Prepared production import tooling for exclusive MP3s, including metadata cleanup, duplicate-title checks, embedded artwork handling, playlist assignment, and published station verification.
Updated Wavyl Exclusive playlist cards so subtitle and description text can be maintained more cleanly across the exclusive browsing experience.
Added upload-time audio-analysis scheduling so newly uploaded tracks can queue waveform/BPM analysis instead of relying only on manual backfill steps.
Packaged the Wavyl Bulk Import audio-analysis autoschedule update alongside the Play Block audio-analysis changes.
Added a production waveform backfill helper for running analysis against existing tracks when needed.
Improved playlist row state so playlist rows can reflect the active/playing track state more reliably while browsing.
Fixed the rebuilt desktop player timing/icon path so desktop controls display the correct time and remain visually consistent.
Simplified the logged-in mobile header to the core actions: menu, brand, search, and account/upload access through the drawer.
Restored the Wavyl logo beside the mobile wordmark and kept the mobile brand linked to Discover.
Updated admin packaging scripts so theme and plugin deploy ZIPs can be produced for these focused releases.

May 16, 2026

Versions: Play Block 11.2.39-11.2.40, Waveme Child Theme 1.0.35-1.0.36

Summary: Tightened the rebuilt player experience, login status UI, mobile controls, duration display, and deployment packaging.

Fixed player duration and waveform time behavior so track timing is more accurate across the rebuilt player surfaces.
Fixed the mobile expanded player total-time display so the expanded view reports the correct full track length.
Added rebuilt shuffle and repeat controls with playback wiring across desktop, mobile expanded player, and the player bridge.
Increased the mobile shuffle and repeat icon sizing so those controls are easier to see and tap.
Fixed the desktop rebuilt player play/pause click path so the main desktop play button toggles playback correctly.
Streamlined the login status UI and refreshed the related login template, theme styling, and compiled player assets.
Updated player waveform support code and rebuilt player assets used by the desktop and mobile playback views.
Updated Discover and child-theme player glue used by the rebuilt player rollout.
Created admin-ready deploy packages for each focused fix so they can be installed or reviewed independently.

April 26, 2026

Versions: Play Block 11.2.38, Waveme Child Theme 1.0.34

Summary: Stabilized the new Wavyl player rollout and improved first-use discovery.

Made the rebuilt audio player the consistent default experience across tested machines.
Fixed playback continuity issues that could briefly layer duplicate audio after repeated navigation or visualizer use.
Replaced fragile player icon rendering with more resilient controls so the player remains usable across browsers and machines.
Simplified signup so new users can create an account before dealing with creator setup or payout details.
Added a Discover fallback so new listeners with no play history see a real Start Listening rail instead of an empty Continue Listening state.
Added and linked public trust surfaces including Contact, DMCA, Terms, Privacy, About, Updates, and Creator Payouts.
Made the trust pages provision from normal site boot so public footer links resolve after deploy.
Polished public trust-page copy so the launch surface feels more complete for listeners, creators, and copyright contacts.
Smoothed onboarding/account copy across signup, login, profile, upload, stats, and statements so listener-first and creator-later flows are clearer.
Opened Browse, Discover, and Wavyl Exclusive as read-only exploration surfaces for logged-out visitors.
Fixed the mobile expanded-player visualizer action so it opens from the user tap and refreshed mobile action-button wiring for the current player bridge.
Improved mobile visualizer audio binding so it can fall back to the active Wavyl audio element when the rebuilt player core has track state but no media handle yet.
Hardened mobile visualizer launch from restored playlist state by promoting the snapshot track into runtime audio before initializing the visualizer.
Adjusted the mobile Visualizer button so real mobile browsers keep the user tap attached to the visualizer launch, then close the expanded player only after the visualizer is confirmed open.
Changed the rebuilt mobile Visualizer action to open directly into the full visualizer canvas and kick the active preset/render loop automatically.
Added a user-gesture-gated iOS audio analyser attach for the mobile visualizer, plus debug signal sampling to verify whether visuals are reacting to live audio.
Fixed the mobile visualizer auto-start path so the direct canvas launch uses compiled Butterchurn presets instead of falling back to a black canvas until a preset is manually selected.
Cleaned up the mobile visualizer preset-start follow-up so the direct canvas launch no longer emits a stale helper warning.
Changed rebuilt mobile player action pills to icon buttons for like, visualizer, lyrics, download, and purchase actions.
Fixed visualizer artwork handoff so rebuilt player tracks use their artwork, song, and artist links inside visualizer and mini-player UI.
Changed the rebuilt desktop player action cluster from text labels to icon controls for like, lyrics, visualizer, queue, download, and purchase actions.
Hardened the rebuilt desktop action icons against theme SVG styling so the controls remain visible after production deploy.
